Abstract
A cover system covers the radiating faces of a loud speaker enclosure. It includes a sheet of flaccid material, such as a sheet of textile fabric printed with an ornamental design and provided with a border of "VELCRO" felt. The speaker radiating face carries either a complete peripheral border or segments of the hook component of a "VELCRO" fastener that is engagable with the felt. In use, the borders of the sheet are rolled up and stuck onto the hook strips to hold the sheet in place. The system makes the customizing of domestic and other loud speaker enclosure very simple.
